I hope it goes well 🫡🫡god speed! that sounds really cool lol I’d be too scared to try something like that. I like running smaller scale games

I felt the illegible scribblings in a journal because thats what I did when I was first starting to layout the setting. Even my maps look like that. I drew most of it in tuxpaint for that deranged feeling 🫣

I think that planning and keeping in mind what NPCs do through out makes the game feel “alive”. I try to do something like that, though I’m not sure how good I am at it. At most I just make recurring characters appear where they might be when a player enters a building or a setting occasionally

I still use mastodon to this day, but I find I get more interaction rather than just lurking and viewing pictures here. Aka more actual conversation. It’s easier to participate and not feel like you’re posting to a void

yeah I definetly agree. specifically because of the lack of algorithms or profit motives it won’t be " addictive " nor as easy as traditional social media to find what I’m most likely to engage in. but it also means ragebait is less likely to be pushed to me, and for that, its actually quite fine…

im quite sick of the “few big websites” that the internet has become. I miss when there were a greater variety of forums, blogs and places to hang out, only supported through people’s passions. and it seems to me federation goes back to those old times.

as a newbie to the system myself I’m having a lot of fun with it! if you haven’t heard of it I’d try the gurps lite version first which is free and a good starting point to add or remove rules and mechanics as needed.
